GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 18:15-20
If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
Two most important virtues or practices of Christianity are presented here by Jesus. They are reconciliation and prayer. Here Jesus gives the process of reconciliation. Here again it is not for the sinner to make the first more rather it is the brother (against whom one has sinned) of the sinner. Then he should make effort with two or more brothers and then take the matter to the church. It is not the sinner who makes this process.
The second practice of piety is prayer. Prayer should be done in a community. It is the community of believers. Where there is a community of believers there the presence of God is experienced. When prayers are said in a group then there is greater advantage of being heard.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 18:15-20
அவர் உங்களுக்குச் செவிசாய்த்தால் நல்லது; உங்கள் உறவு தொடரும்.
கிறிஸ்தவ வாழ்வுக்கு அடித்தளமான இரண்டு பண்புகள் இங்கே பேசப்படுகின்றன. அவை: ஒப்புறவு, ஜெபம். இவை இரண்டும் உறவை வளர்ப்பதற்கும் இறைஉறவில் வளர்வதற்கும் அவசியமானவை.
